    I don't know if it's more hope than expectation but I do think Shane has a chance. When the fight was first announced I didn't think it would be competitive fight at all. I just think Shane's power and what remains of his speed and reflexes will certainly be a bigger test than Clottey or Margarito were. Those 2 were really just heavy bags for Pac and it was only Clottey's reluctance to engage and Margo's beard that kept them in there. Pac's hittable, even Clottey could tag him clean a few times when he did decide to open up. Plus Shane will be the biggest puncher he's faced. He's a huge underdog for sure but I think he could surprise a few people.

    You might well be right though, and I wouldn't be shocked at all if exactly what you said is what happens. I think it's at 147 since Pac kept his belt there and dropped the one he had at 154.

    It's fight week in Las Vegas and everybody is giving their predictions for this Saturday's big showdown between WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and former five-time champion 'Sugar' Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Just like any fight in the sport, everyone seems to have a heavy opinion as to whether the scintillating champion will be able to pull off another virtuoso performance or whether the 39-year old Mosley has one great fight left in him.

    One man with a rather unique view on the fight, and an individual who is certainly qualified to give an accurate assessment of Pacquiao's skills, is undefeated welterweight contender Shawn Porter, who just finished up his second camp as one of the chief sparring partners to the Filipino idol. Porter was brought into Manny's camp in the fall of 2009 for his eventual 12th round TKO over Miguel Cotto and the two men seemed to have an instant bond with one another during their time in Baguio in the Philippines.

    As for this particular go round, the Akron, Ohio charge insists that it was more of the same.

    "It's been a great camp. It's been fun. Just hard work, ya know?" Porter recently reflected to me.

    A training camp is actually a precious thing and fighters often grow close to one another after preparing each other for battle and pushing one another to the limit. But when asked about what has stood out about Pacquiao during his two stints with the 32-year old, Porter reels off an expected yet refreshing response.

    "I would say more than anything, like everybody else would tell you, he's just a really nice guy, really humble. And just a lot of love of love in his heart. He's a big kid, likes to have fun, and we connect really well on that level because I'm a big kid too," he continued.

    And as far as his intangibles as a fighter, Porter there too shows his praise.

    "He's a great fighter," he continued. "Definitely one of the best fighters I have ever been in the ring with. I'm 18-0 as a pro now and being in the ring with him, it's just so competitive. I think just his style alone; he's a southpaw, he moves quick, uses a lot of different angles, and I think that alone, it's really hard to make adjustments in the ring. I think that's one thing that makes him really successful."

    Its an okay bout but I expect more from the best fighter in the world. Pac comes to fight so even if it is an okay match up, he'll give his best which is more than you can say for Floyd.

    Pac should be chastised for this fight, Shane's got nothing left, he's shown that from his last few -there's a load more appealing fights - it seems the main concern is a fight that will sell, only because the casual fan knows who Shane is.

    In short, this fight is complete bollocks.

    The best fighter shouldn't ever fight someone who hasn't won in over 2 years!

    The PBF and Mora fights showed you all you need to know about the current Mosely.

    I understand that Pac has basically ran out of opponents, but c'mon!
